Good Bills on Ireland, or Irish Bank Nutt's, taken in payment for Liners, or di:countede In the first place, there seems somewhat of contradiction in dt;ing away with the responsibility of the Overseer, by throwing all his former power into the hands of the Select Committee or Vestry, and yet so far stretching the bounds`,of appointment, as to give a power of nominating a discr;el As sistant, or permanent Overseer, and, if my reading of the clause in question be correct, to go even out of the Parish in search of an Overseer. On one side, we thus see the office of Overseer considered as nearly unnecessary; on the reverse, a new method of procuring one is recommended. Secondly, The increase of . Votes; as the' assessment rises, Will tend very much to` add to the power and influence this Writer seems to dread ; half a dozen persons may, by such a process, be brought to outvote twenty, and the Magistrate, having the nomination of the half dozen, will be enabled through' them to reduce the twenty, and with theta perhaps the whole Parish, to a state of complete vassalage. Thirdly, The ten days' notice when a Vestry is called to choose aSelect Vestry, or a Select Vestryman, looks a little like a provision against the absence of the principal man or his agent, and the giving time JO him to canvass and solicit votes for particular persons, lest others apparently more eligible might perhaps present themselves at once to the attention of the Public. Fourthly, The empowering of the Select Vestry to take, oc cupy, and even build upon, certain lands to-be cultivated by paupers upon the parish account, will have a tendency to in crease the patronage of the Magistrate, and also of the. Chairman to the Committee. It will tend to augment the sums levied for the use of the Poor (already enormous) - through the tradesmen of the parish, some of whom will most likely he Vestry, Select Vestrymen, voting at the dictation of the leading man, in hopes of getting some of the various jobs which must necessarily take place upon such occupation and building. A Steward or Bailiff ;mist also be appointed, and no difficulty can arise as to whose creature he will be. Fifth/y, and lastly, Theextraordinary project of whipping apinale pauper, because the place of her birth is either in Scotland•or Ireland! 4. These observations shall suffice for the present, with the addition of mt►y protest against tt►e cruelty and imvolicy o.t robbing paupers of their children, and forcing a loan upon' them to be afterwards recovered by distress upon their precarious pro perty. The wickedness of such a measure 1 take to be so self-evident, as to render kunworthy even of discussion. Clidtukford, 15th April, 18t% C. D. LAIV INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 16. AFEKAL OF MURDER. WILLIAM - ASHFORD V. ABRAHAM THORNTON. The further hearing of the arguments of Coun sel, on this ,interesting Appeal havi ng b een ap pointed to come on to-day, the Court and all the adjoining avenues were crowded at an early hour. The defendant was conducted into Court by the Warden of the King's Bench prison, about nine o'clock: He does not appear to have suffered in the smallest degree from his confinement ; hut, on the contrary, seems to be still in the enjoy ment of perfect health, and is apparent quite'';- concerned at his situation. Shortly after he had taken his seat, two respectable-looking females en tered the Court, and placed themselves by his side. The Officer, on perceiving them, infortned them they could not site there, and asked if they were friends to the defendant ?---" Friends to him !" exclaimed the elder female—" No, indeed ; I am the aunt of Mary Ashford." The officer then conducted them to a place in the body of the Court, where they were .soon joined by the ap pellant :and several other relations. Mr. Justice BAILEY took his seat on the Bench a few minutes before ten, 'and proceeded ,to hear the ordinary emotions of the day; at the conclu sion of which he was joined'by Lord ELLENBO• ROLIGH, and Justices ABBOTT and HOLROYD, when the Court immediately proceeded to hear M r CHITTY 'S further arguments for the appellant. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" Mr. Chitty, you may proceed." • . Mr. CHITTY..-...." When the consideration of this appeal was last before your Lordship, 1 be lieve I hinted that 'my reply to the arguments of my Learned Friend, Mr. Tindale, was likely to occupy a greater portion of your Lordship's time than my previous address had done. lam now happy to state, however, that I shall be able to compress my arguments into a much smaller cptn pass than I had then imagined, and will not tres pass on the time of the Court more than I con ceive absolutely necessary. Mr. Tindale arranged his. arguments Under four different heads :—lst, That the Plea of Wager of Battle is the right of the defendant, and not of the appellant ;. 2d, That, the defendant can only be ousted of that plea in cases where there are circumstances stated in the counterplea affording strong presumption of guilt; 3d l That the circumstances stated and alleged in the counterplea, when considered with the al legations in the replication, do not afford such presumption ; and 4th, That from all the atulto. cities On the-snbject, the Judgment of the Court ought to he, that the defendant shall be acquitted, and allowed to go free without delay,. From de ference to my Learned Friend, I shall follow the same order of arrangement in the arguments I have now to S'ilhtlialo your Lordships; and with .regard to the first point, that the plea of wager of battle -is a riglit vested in the defendant and not in the appellant, 1 must confess I was rather surprised that my Learned Friend should have said so much on the subject, because, in.. Opening the case, I never attempted to dispute that point—a point which I now readily concede to bias." Me. Clitty then proceeded to argue at ninth 1 - ength,', that the plea of wager of battle -depending on a - number of facts may be taken away, and _that titer present case might be brought within the excep tions. In - support,nf his assertion that the plea - of wager of .battlfrittight-he taken away, he re- • lerrato a case mentioned in Fitzherbeet (4tb Ed w. HI. p. 9.) upon which he argued much in detail. It was a case where the defendant -was taken with . the manour, and although there were many considerations which might have rendered the question of his guilt very doubtful, yet the Court then held that as the stolen property was taken upon hint, whets taken, he should not be allow ell his plea of wager o f bat t l e . Th e L earne d C ounse l next referred to another case of manour, as given. in Brooks's Abridgment (22 Edw. IV. fol. 19.) in order to .prove that the Court may compel a defendant who puts himself on his plea of wager of battle, to take issue upon the county. lie te• ferred to a variety olother authorities and cases, but we refrain from following the Learned Counsel in all the minutia of detail into which he entered in this part of his argument. The passages in Bracton, he said, to which, on a former occasion, he had referred, ,remained tmcontroverted ; and from folio 8., p. 137, of that Author, it appear,. ed,. that an Appellee may defend himself \ by battle, unless there be a violent , presumption . that he is-guilty. In Bracton, it was stated, that a person having lain in a housing where murder was committed; without his raising a hue and cry, or being wounded by the murderers, should b,eile privect of his plea --of wager of battle. Staund forde (whose authority. the Learned Counsel de fended from the objections raised against it) says, that strong presumptions of guilt maybe a sstiii cient bar to the wager of battle;. and Fleta, pages 47 and 50, lays down the same doctrine. .He should next refer their Lordships to Haw kins's Pleas of the Crown, vol. ie. 416 ; front a consideration . of which he submitted, that though the Judges might at an early period con. demn the accused taken " in flugrante deticto," without trial, yet that afterwards they might re fuse to do so, and refer the matter t&the county. Reeves, in his - Hist,ory of the Luv, vol p. 268, takes an historical - view art cases similar to tb,..t•now before the Court, and from • his refe rence to Flera, '0;51 , it would appear, that where there were strong presumptions of guilt, the Court - immediately referred the matter to a Jury. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" that were always the case, how could there have been so general a use of the trial by battle ?" Mr. CHITTY next proceeded to answer the nb jectious which had been urgedsto the counterplea itself, viz. " that there was nothing stated in the counterplea as ,a fact, except such things as ap peared merely to others to Ise so. Facts; as al bided to in the counterplea, were made to depend merely upon surmise ; upon the surmise of per sons whosenames were not even Mentioned." We ate obliged to omit following . the Learned . Counsel through his answer t o th ese objections, because it was unavoidably mixed up with a recital of circumstances, to detail which would - prove dis• gusting. Besides, the circumstances alluded to did not eonvey'an unanswerable presumption of the defendant's guilt, since Mr. JuSticel3AILPY, and with 11 hit the other Judges, thought that it might at least be replied that Mary,Ashford had, from perhaps remorse of conscience, thrown. bee self into the pit of water where she was found ; or, having occasion to go near it, might, front weakness, have fallen into it / and have been unable to extricate herself. Their Lordships, after consulting together for some time, gave judgment', severally, that the presumption ,of guilt was not sufficiently strong to come within the exceptions; and that, as the law now stands, the appellee is entitled to his Trial by Battle. The appellee having, in his re plication, prayed judgment quad sat rode sine die, time is 'allowed till Monday- for the. Counsel of the, appellant to apply to the Court, if they think pro• per, for their opinion on that point.
